For the last 30 years she has traveled and lived throughout the United States giving public lectures, intensive classes, and retreats on the subjects of esoteric meditation, psychology, healing, conscious evolution, and astrology.
 
Heidi's contribution to the emerging field of Conscious Evolution is based on the message that our species is an integral aspect of the life of our Planetary Logos, and for Planetary evolution to proceed with our conscious cooperation, we must function as intended: we must become Truly Human.  We should therefore understand what the purposes of our Planetary Logos are and our species niche within those trans human purposes as well as the personal powers we are each destined to contribute. 

To this end she offers her original teachings on the 7 Principles of Love and the 28 Rites of Conscious Evolution, which were first presented by the 20th century esoteric educator, Alice A. Bailey.   Heidi's teachings on the 7 Principles of Love and the 28 Rites are a uniquely powerful evolutionary practice that involves the use of seven evolutionary accelerants, and the use of Star Based astrology to determine and activate Soul and Personality codes or powers.  Additionally she is promoting the use of the Starry Wisdom Channels to boost planetary evolution.  She regards her work as a contribution to the One Great Work of the world-wide group of Evolutionaries.
 
Her spiritual journey began with a Catholic up-bringing, followed by an interest in art, psychology, yoga, natural healing and the wisdom teachings of Eastern mystics like Sri Yukteshwar, Yogananda, Vivikananda, Aurobindo and the Yoga Sutras of Patangali.  But it wasn't until 1973 when she began reading the works of Alice A. Bailey, an authentic, enlightened, Western, female teacher that her own spiritual transformation was catalyzed.

Heidi seeks out the deeper part of us that knows our species is capable of a more beautiful civilization and that it requires our collective effort to establish.  She is enthusiastic about the fact that we live in a time when our efforts can make a real difference if we are willing to wake up and support each other in giving our highest gifts in service to the world.  She does not call for transcendence or ascension away from the world but for a deep and committed Soulful immersion in it so that we can evolve human consciousness and culture.
